Our work in Nigeria has always been based on a relationship of friendship and trust with our local partners. Because we have not been able to travel to Nigeria for the past two years, we decided to add new adjunct members to our board of directors who can be our “eyes and ears” on the ground in Nigeria.

Dear friends and supporters, The last two years have been very challenging for billions of people in all parts of the world. And our six partner clinics in Nigeria are no exception. In addition to the Covid pandemic, the security situation in most parts of Nigeria has gotten dramatically worse.
At Kateri Clinic, we have been forced to discontinue our annual medical outreach and our mobile clinics at Kateri Clinic due to violence, robbery and kidnapping activities in the area, but thankfully, we have found a partner.
Arthur and Esther Bradley Memorial Anglican Hospital in Gidan Waya required some updates because of the growing number of patients since opening this new hospital in 2018.
We are currently training workers at the three existing rural clinics in Kebbi. We will soon begin the building plan for each of the clinics. We hope to complete the first building later in 2022 and the other two in 2023.
A message of gratitude for all of the nurses and doctors out there. Some wise words from a friend of mine, with whom I have worked on many medical outreach missions.
Thank you nurses and doctors for all you do as God's instruments of healing. Published with the permission of Banjo Omotayo Babatunde. We just completed the roof on our newest medical facility in Ikara, Nigeria. This new clinic will help us to provide simple, decent and affordable medical care for the rural and urban poor of this region.
We take great care to spend your money wisely to have a maximum impact of the people we serve. No one on our US team receives a salary. We are all volunteers. Our offices are in our homes. We pay no rent. When we travel to Nigeria, we pay our own expenses. Our administrative and fundraising costs are very low — about 5% of our budget. Thus, 95% of every donated dollar goes directly to build, equip and run clinics and to pay indigenous medical staff.
Dear Friends and Supporters, The last two years have been a challenge for Kateri Medical Services and our ix partner clinics on many levels. In addition to the ravages of COVID, our clinics have also faced increased poverty, hunger, banditry, kidnapping, violent clashes between cattle herders and farmers, and a rapid increase in the number of homeless internal refugees.
